RALEIGH, NC (February 1, 2012) - Stackpole's flameproof RNS Series is ideal for existing designs that require downsizing or added features. It is also a popular choice for new designs that require the smallest form factor possible for a given power rating. Specifically, the RNS Series 1W has an EIA standard ¼ watt body size, and the RNS 2W has an EIA standard ½ watt body size.

The RNS Series performance will be useful in a variety of applications and end products. Among the applications would be home appliances, solid state power supplies, instrumentation, safety equipment, welding systems, robotics, and industrial power and control applications where an axial leaded resistor robust performance under harsh environmental conditions is desired.
